Welome To AZIP

Welcome to Amanda Zips It Up and (something that looks a lot like) SUMMER.

This week, we check out all the madness at the Met Gala 2024, which takes place on the first Monday of every May, and really kick-starts summer for me. A who’s who of A-listers roll up in the craziest elaborate couture, designed to shock that red carpet. It’s a feast for fashionistas’ eyes.

But, as with everything fashion, there’s high-end and low-end. And to prove that point, this week I was sent this press release best described as “out there”. Prepare for more madness…

Welcome to Pee-Stained Denim.

JORDANLUCA embraces “fashion erotica” at every turn. Well, that’s one way of looking at it. While kinks and gimmicks have become the brand’s trademark, JORDANLUCA’s latest offering went viral – its 2024 pee-stained denim. Or, denim that looks that way.

Already sold out on multiple platforms, JORDANLUCA’s soiled denim boasts a slim leg tapered at the ankles, with a discoloured wash and darkened urine stains around the zipper. (Apparently) inspired by the contradicting nature of capitalist consumer culture, JORDANLUCA’s spotted denim observes ‘cannibalistic financial systems that never slow down — even for the bathroom’.

JORDANLUCA’s pee-stained jeans are available at select stockists for £635 GBP (approximately $800 USD). Don’t all rush out to buy them at once…

Told you it was all madness.

As well as the Met Gala, in this instalment we discover ‘DAD FASHION’ and the facial side effects of the OZEMPIC weigh loss drug that everyone is loving right now.
